I have a strange issue regarding my wife's Mac which is connected to the same wired network as my Mac.
I log into her computer (by double-clicking her computer name on the bottom left side of any Finder window where it says "locations"), then enter her username/password. This should give me access to all her files/folders, which is helpful whenever I'm helping her to organize stuff on her computer, but sitting at my own Mac.
Now the strange thing is that whichever file or folder I click on and select "Show info", strangely I am the one who's the owner of that particular file or folder! But if I do the same "Show info" physically from her computer, her name shows up as the owner (as is correct of course). Is this normal?
The reason I ask is because I recently spent some time organizing her photos by merging multiple iPhoto libraries, removing duplicates etc. and creating a new Photos library as a result (using PowerPhotos for all that). I then transferred it over to her Mac via the network and it worked fine over there on her Mac. But when doing a remote backup (using Chronosync/ChronoAgent) and seeing that it appeared to be copying the entire Photos library again, instead of just the few small additions of photos/changes since last time (I've come to understand a Photos library is in fact a folder, not a file as it appears to be), so I did a "Show info" from my Mac and it show "Zero bytes" !!!! While it's in fact 185 GB when doing a "Show info" physically on her Mac.
Can anyone make sense of this?
